Mabson was a standout running back at Auburn High School and signed with Auburn after reclassifying from the class of 2026
In many cases, Auburn High School head football coach Keith Etheredge is hesitant to encourage kids to reclassify and start playing college football early.
Mabson officially signed with Auburn Wednesday, just over a week after announcing his commitment and almost two months after deciding to reclassify to the class of 2025.Mabson said the decision to reclassify came down to feeling like he was “mentally and physically ready,” something his head coach echoed.
Auburn’s 2025 signing class ranks No. 6 in the country in the 247Sports team rankings and No. 8 in On3’s team rankings. It’s the second cycle in a row that the Tigers' signing class has finished in the top 10. “Man, I’m still going to college,” Mabson said. “I’m gonna treat it just like I’m out in Kansas or out in California so I’m gonna still treat it like I’m far away.”
Mabson was a star for Auburn High School during the 2023 and 2024 seasons, rushing for 2,798 yards and 45 touchdowns over the two years, according to MaxPreps. During his final season in 2024, Mabson added 1,515 yards and 29 touchdowns, leading Auburn to an undefeated regular season and region championship.
